some penetrating oil and breaker bar would do the trick.
Yup.....that and a breaker bar just like Tooter said. Oh and I didn't need oil.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by vabeach_lude:
Has anyone else done it with a regular socket wrench?</font>
Buy a bar or maybe you can rent one? You only need it for like 40 minutes.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by vabeach_lude:
damn I dont have a breaker bar. *sigh*
thanks guys. looks like I need some air tools though.</font>![]()
Correct, definitely possible.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by TooterFish:
I wonder if you can make your own breaker bar? Go to the hardware store and buy like a 8 foot length of iron pipe. Guaranteed to break torque on any bolt in your car!!</font>
your car is already bling blingin...i love it<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by vabeach_lude:
haha thanks for the advice. I will wait for a couple days and maybe my friend will allow me to use his air tools, he also has breaker bars. I was just going to try to install it tonight so it'd be blingin tonight while I was driving</font>![]()
Yup...works fine. If the ratchet handle seems a little on the small side you can wrap it in a thin towel to take up the slack in the jack handle.<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by cementups:
we use my floor jack handle as a breaker all the time.

Ok I already installed it. I did use the floor jack handle and it worked ok. My apex exhaust piping was so damn huge on the passenger side it made things a little difficult. I also took the rear wheels off for better angles and better clearance on the ratchet. The damn directions were pretty vague![]()
I took it around a few blocks and it drove REALLY nice. It isn't a placebo effect either. Man, I'll tell ya, the rear was 10 times more effective than my front strut bar.

You felt something with this installed? Hmmmmmmm was the car ON when you did this install in a closed garage with no ventilation? Or is the w33d in VA that different from the w33d up here in NJ?![]()
